Urban Kite
Aka: plastic grocery bag, plastic bag; a plastic grocery bag that is easily caught by the wind and ends up in treetops. This event can occur when shoppers are careless about their environment, and throws bags on the ground. It can also be caused by spilling out of overflowing trash cans, and cars filled with junk, often unbeknownst to vehicle occupants, as they step out on the ground.
Urban kites occur mostly in the city, due to the higher number of shoppers and higher urban kite:consumer ratio. Urban kites can be seen in rural districts on occasion, but country folk are not in a hurry, and therefore, have more time to prevent and/or correct urban kite flying.
Urban kites are often used as trash bags, lunch bags and cheap totes, which help prevent them from ending up in trees.

Copper tan
A tan on the left arm of a police officer, that occurs from driving around for a lengthy period of time, with his left arm hanging out the window. During the summer months, police officers wear short sleeved shirts. But because they spend most of their time in the cruiser, only their left arm gets tanned from the sleeve down to their fingers. The word, "copper" is derived from the nickname given to police, because their badges were made of copper. That term was then abbreviated to "cop".
This is similar to a farmer's tan; in which both arms are effected.

Woman at the beach: Sir! Can you help me? You're a cop, right? Somebody just stole the wallet out of my shoes!!
Man: Sure, I'll be happy to help. But I'm not even in uniform. I'm only wearing swimming trunks. How did you know I was a police officer?
Woman: That's easy! Because you have a copper tan! Oh...and because your beach towel, duffel bag, beach umbrella, and beach chair all have "Police" written in huge letters...and you have a badge pinned to your chest. That must hurt.
Man: It does.
